When the curtain went up at the Opera
House last evening, the auditorium con-
tanned the finest audience ever assembled
within the walls of the building, and in
addition to its quality, in quantity it has
not been excelled for a long, long time. 1t
was Just such an audience as would make
the heart of a star fill with pride and sat

ing's concert, Nine. Kate Rollo, whom
Wheeling proudly claims as one other most
gifted daughters, made her first public ap-
p~earance in the city of her nativity,
she was rendered a grand ovation, and
one that caused tears to come to
her eyes and her heart to
swell with joy. Never before in the his
tory of the Opera House was such a beau
tiful sight presented to the eyes of an au
dienee as when, at the conclusion Of her
first song, Nine. Rolla returned to respond
TO an encore and a perfect shower Of flowers

came in the shape of bouquets and in

flowers and their odor, while several large
baskets were placed at her feet. The scene
was, indeed, a beautiful one, and as the
fair recipient of this lovely expression of

Reunited cermanv.

MIR. G. e. Bolton pleased large audience
in the Y. NJ. C. A. course last evening with
his lecture on Reunited Germany and
Heroic Louise" Mr.. Bottoms lecture is the
result of much study and intelligent obser-
walton while he was visiting the scenes of
which he speaks, and was well delivered,
although at times the speakers voice did not
penetrate to all parts of the hall. The views
We're, as rule, excellent, the coloring being
particularly fine. Mr.. Bolton has spent six
seasons travelling through Europe. In 1880
he was delegate to the Worlds Convention
of Young Mems Christian Associations, and
to the Sunday School Centenary held in Lon
don. While abroad he correspondent for sew
eral American papers and has since written
for st. Nicholas and Wide Awake. In 1881
he formed the Cleveland Educational Blu
reau, which gives, each winter, in the great
Tabernacle, to 1000 persons, a course of
ten lectures, preceded by concerts and half
hour preludes on important subjects, and
choice, brief books. Mr.. Bolton recently
visited Sweden and Norway. lie has trav-
elled in Russia and through America. The
lecturer was introduced last evening by
Thomas fash, Esq, and for over an hour
entertained his hearers with his escriptions
of the famous men and women of reunited
Germany, the notable places of their count
ry, its architecture and art.
Next Thursday evening Mr.. Bolton will
deliver his lecture ON Paris and the Four
Napoleons," and on Saturday evening at
7.3O o'clock he will speak of trip across
the Atlantic and through the British Isles.
for the benefit of the school children, al
though the talk will contain great deal of
interest to the old folks. This lecture will
be under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.

STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
The Secretary of the Board Accused
of Neglect of Duty.

There is considerable feeling over the sec
retaryship of the State Board of Agriculture.
On Tuesday an order was introduced in the
Senate directing the committee on agrcul-
ture to inquire into the advisability of hay
ing this secretary appointed by the Governor
and Council instead of elected by the six
teen members of the Board. Wednesday af-
ternoon the committee met to consider the
question, and large crowd met with them.
To understand fully the controversy which
arose, it may be necessary to understand the
constitution of the Board of Agriculture.
and the duties of its secretary. In each
county the agricultural society Tor if there
more than one they alternate), selects men,
Der Of the State Board of Agriculture These
members, 16 in all, elect secretary By vir-
tue of his office. this secretary is also trus
tee of the Maine State College, director of
the agricultural experiment station, and
Commissioner ON TIE Diseases of Animals.
He has the handling and distribution of the
money devoted to farmers Institutes which
are held in the various counties; and he is
in other ways by far the most important of
the State officers who are identified particu-
larly with agricultural interests. The pres
ent secretary is Hon. Y. A. Gilbert. of 'Tllr-
ner; he is elected by the board
The movement to have the secretary ap-
pointed by the governor and Council has
taken on some of the appearances of a cru
SADIE against Mr. Gilbert, although the gem
tlemen who are behind it are of such well
known standing as to give no ground to be-
lieve that they bring their action without
disregard for what they consider the public
interest. AT the meeting, Hall G. Burleigh,
Esq, OF Nassalboro, Dr. Bailey, the veteri-
nary surgeon, of Portland, and w. b. Fergu
son, Esq, appeared in behalf of the change.
and Hon. u. A. Gilbert, w. w. Harris OF
Cumberland, and Mr.. Pike of Oxford oppos-
ed it. The discussion was spirited, and even
acrimonious. Mr.. Burleigh thought that
Mr.. Gilbert had altogether too much patron
age as secretary and that he used it for per-
sonal ends. Mr.. Burleigh also thought that
as Commissioner of Diseases of Animals Mr.
Gilbert had neglected his duties, having made
no report, when one should have been made
before Jan. 10th. CONTAGIOUS diseases also
have existed and been disseminated among
cattle of the State, without being accompa-
MED with the proper precautions. These
are some of the reasons alleged by the COM
plainants for having the selection of the sec
rotary given to the Governor and Council
On the other hand it is urged that sixteen
practical agriculturists can do better in Sc
Letting secretary than would the Governor
and Council, who might make the office po-
litical prize. 1t is very probable that this
will be the view of the majority of the agri-
cultural committee when it comes to act on
the order from the Senate.
The matter will be reopened before the
committee next Wednesday.

A Suspicious Death.

Yesterday morning, at 9 O'Clock, Coroner
Gould received notice that woman named
Lizzie L. Mcdonald had died suddenly the
night before at the house of Mrs. Cameron
No. 10 Preble street. The coroner investi-
gated the facts and decided an autopsy to be
necessary, as the appearance of the body
gave rise to suspicious that the death WIS
not due to natural causes.
Mrs. Cameron stated that the girl com.
planned of feeling tired last evening and
went to her room, where she lay down be.
fore the fire. at II o'clock, supposing the
girl to be asleep, Mrs. Cameron shook her
and found her to be dead.
Letters and papers found upon the body
showed the girl to be the daughter Of Archi-
bald Mcdonald, of Bath. She was about %
yeare of age, and came here from Dover, N.
H., last summer.
The autopsy was conducted by DR.. King.
and resulted in showing that the death was
the result of natural causes.
